Peenemünde Historical Technical Museum - Peenemünde Army Research Center | Peenemuende [HD]
Peenemünde Historical Technical Museum - Peenemünde Army Research Center | V2 Rocket Facility At Peenemunde - WWII In Colour | Peenemünde (German pronunciation: [peːnəˈmʏndə], English: Mouth of the Peene [River]) is a village with a seaport on the westernmost extremity of a long sand-spit, in the northwestern part of Usedom Island at the Baltic Sea coast of Germany. Peenemünde is famous for being the birthplace of modern rocket science (with the Peenemünde Army Research Center), today displayed at the Information Centre for History and Technology, Peenemünde.
For the Nazi Germany facilities for the V-1 flying bomb and the V-2, see Peenemünde Airfield and Peenemünde Army Research Center.
During the 10th and 11th centuries, Peenemünde was part of the region of Circipania, an area settled by the Circipanes, a West Slavic tribe constituent of the Lutici federation. Circipania was incorporated into the Billung March of the Holy Roman Empire in 936, but the Empire's influence in the region decayed by the end of that century after a successful Slavic uprising. During the late 12th century, in the aftermath of the Wendish Crusade, the region fell under the rule of the Duchy of Pomerania. After the Treaty of Kremmen in 1236, most of Circipania was transferred to the Margraviate of Brandenburg.
In World War II, the area was highly involved in the development and production of the V-2 rocket, until the production's relocation to Nordhausen. The village's docks were used for the ships which recovered V-2 wreckage from test launches over the Baltic Sea. German scientists such as Wernher von Braun, who worked at the V-2 facility were known as, Peenemünders. The entire island was captured by the Soviet Red Army on May 5, 1945. The gas plant for the production of liquid oxygen still lies in ruins at the entrance to Peenemünde.
The post-war port was a Soviet naval base until turned over to the armed forces of East Germany in 1952. The seaport facilities were used at first by the East German Seepolizei (sea police) after new facilities for police motorboats had been built. On December 1, 1956, the headquarters of the First Fleet of the East German Volksmarine (navy) was established at Peenemünde.
The Peenemünde Historical and Technical Information Center, a World War II museum on the European Route of Industrial Heritage, opened in 1992 in the shelter control room[clarification needed] and the area of the World War II power station (now part of the village) -- exhibits include a V-1 and a V-2.

Historical Technical Museum Peenemünde
The Peenemünde Military Test Site was one of the most modern technological facilities in the world in the years between 1936 and 1945. The first launch of a missile into space took place here in October 1942. In the nearby air force testing area, rocket engineers tested numerous flight objects equipped with revolutionary technology. From the start this research was directed toward one goal only: achieving military superiority through advanced technology.
Slave laborers, concentration camp inmates and prisoners of war provided the work that enabled the construction of the test sites and the later serial production of the rockets, which the Nazi propaganda referred to as Vergeltungswaffe 2 (or Vengeance Weapon 2), in so short a period of time. Both the inhumane labor conditions and the attacks on Belgian, British and French cities using the supposed wonder weapon claimed thousands of lives.
The ambivalent nature of technological progress is uniquely reflected in the story of Peenemünde.
The collision of science and technology exemplified by the complex, together with an account of the historical development of rocketry are the main focus of the exhibition of the Peenemünde Historical Technical Museum.
It is housed in the power station of the former Army Testing Site - the largest technical monument in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. In addition the museum serves as an international meeting place and cultural venue. In 2002 the museum was awarded the Coventry Cross of Nails for its efforts toward reconciliation and world peace.

The Peenemünde Historical Technical Museum , former Peenemünde Information Centre for History and Technology is a museum, founded in 1991, in the observation bunker and site of the former power station in Peenemünde on the island of Usedom in eastern Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Germany.The museum is dedicated to the history of the Peenemünde Army Research Centre and the Luftwaffe test site of Peenemünde-West, especially the rockets and missiles developed there between 1936 and 1945.Since January 2007 the information centre has become an anchor point on the European Route of Industrial Heritage , a Europe-wide network of industrial monuments, and a part of the ERIH themed routes for Energy and Transport & Communication.In 2008 around the museum had 222,000 visitors including many school classes.

Return to Peenemunde Germany - September 1991
This video documentary was created in September 1991 to record the first return visit to Peenemünde, Germany, since the end of the World War II in 1945 by several surviving Wernher von Braun rocket team members and their families. Such a visit had only become possible after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 since Peenemünde had been part of the Russian occupied zone in what became known as East Germany.
Early on during World War II the Wernher von Braun team members had been pulled from all parts of Germany, universities and the military to be assigned to work on rocket development at Peenemünde, a small community northwest of Berlin on the Baltic Sea. In October 1942 after the first ever successful launch of a rocket into space, the German government pushed the A4/V2 into mass production. V2s were first fired at England in September 1944. However, with raw materials becoming scarce and Germany facing defeat, rocket development activities at Peenemünde and elsewhere soon terminated in March 1945 when Von Braun, and about 500 of his team, which included family members, fled to Bavaria to find Americans in order to surrender to them. This video reenacts some of this journey.

Peenemunde: The German Experimental Rocket Center and Its Rocket Missile Assemblies A-1 Through A-12
When one hears the noun Peenemünde recalled immediately is the Heeres Versuchsanstalt, Peenemünde or the German Army Ordinance=s experimental rocket missile research center on a peninsula bordering the Baltic Sea in northeast Germany. It existed for only nine years...1936-1945. Read the story (part 1) and view the photos in future volumes. Read about what really happened in Dr Myhra's latest historical account of The German Army Ordinances' experimental rocket research center, Peenemunde! Enjoy this, Part 2 Volume 2, photographs, drawings, Images and maps, of a multi-part informative series. The footage contained here-in was surrendered by Germany at the end of WW2 and was made a part of the public record. To attempt to claim ownership of this or any other captured World War 2 footage is a violation of the Public Domain Act of 1968.
